Festival newcomer, Locomative Distribution, is already seeing signs of success at this year's Cannes Film Festival. This early in the festival, the new company has already managed to acquire "Temple of Venus," starring Kathy Bates, from Barn Door Pictures and Ignition Film Productions' "A Kiss for Jed Wood," starring Jayne Weisner. These films, along with other selections, such as "Hot Potato," starring Ray Winstone, will be for sale in the Marche du Film. According to "Cannes Market News," Locomotive president, Collen Seldin, is hopeful saying "As a new company in a challenging climate we are...very encouraged by the response we've had already so early into the festival."
